Accounting degree? Ick. Not me. I have dyscalculia and math is my worst enemy. I'll pass the idea along though.

That brings me to the question Hockeyguy15 asked about my level of education. The honest answer is, no post secondary as yet. If I were to go for a degree it would be in English. But I know way too many people with English degrees working crappy jobs. So I just read tons of books, not only literature but style analysis as well. It's not too hard to self educate if you are determined. And it's way cheaper!

Someone else on here said it's not the occupy blog getting attention but tents and a certain other blogger with a tent obsession. I have no doubt he gets more traffic than I do but I get my share, make no mistake. I do get a lot of negative feedback on Occupy but there really actually is quite a lot of support. I mean, my boss reads the blog. She cut my FFWD article on Occupy out and stuck it to the wall in our office. A local politician posted a link to it on his fb page and told me he really enjoys reading it. On the blog as well I have lots of civil conversations with people who say they don't support the movement but they respect what I'm trying to do on there and they keep coming back to read it.

Each individual can only contribute as they are able. I'm doing my best.

Then volunteer!
